    Cold version of margarita pizza...yahhhhhhhh right
    Ted C.

    First we couldn't find this place because of the scaffolding...ok no biggie we had to drive an extra lap. We think only one waiter maybe plus a trainee was working but the poor guy looked like he was at his end...he was doing his best that he could with the amount of people he had to cover. Asked about the wings, they were out so I couldn't try them. I heard the wings here were great, but if you have none that worries me. Should have been the first red flag. I asked about the pirogies. He said they were really good so I got the sampler. My wife saw the margarita pizza and opted to try that. Well the pierogies were deep fried...like an egg-roll. Dry and poorly seasoned. Definitely frozen and deep fried, not made in house like I would have imagined. Now onto the pizza...it was a piece of premade flatbread with tomatoes thrown on and sauce with cold mozzarella on it. Just nasty. It was cold and didn't even taste good. This was more of a tomato bread thingie...this is not pizza. This would be a great place for kitchen nightmares to be recommended for a show...which raises another concern about the cleanliness in the back of the food was this poor. The location and atmosphere has potential but the food has to drastically improve and for god sake get the man some help. Would NOT recommend and will not be coming back here.

    Capital Ale House never ceases to amaze! They have incredible deals every night. My favorite is the half off appetizers after 9 PM... including my favorite jalapeño pierogis and loaded fries. They have a drink menu that is so large it reminds me of the food menu at Cheesecake Factory. So many good drinks at great prices. There are MULTIPLE bars within the multi level restaurant. The service was wonderful and everything came very fast. They have a super great rewards program that adds up quickly as well. Nice ambiance in downtown Richmond. Highly highly recommend!!

    A friend and I stopped here for food and drinks before a visit to the Capitol - we thought it was that close to the actual Capitol. It's not...or at least we decided it wasn't close in almost 100 degree weather, lol. That said, Capitol Ale House is a really big space, which was well lit near the windows but became increasingly more dark and divey the further I went into the building. We sat at the part of the bar closest to the front windows. LOL, I made the bartender do A LOT of work, giving me all kinds of beer samples until I found the right one. He was very patient with me, and told me it was the most interesting part of his day. I also ordered a basic pasta dish with brocollini and it was really good. So, while I don't recommend Capitol Ale House for proximity to the VA State Capitol, I did enjoy the food, drink, and service!

    Spinach and Cheese Pierogia with a bacon drizzle and chive sour cream.

    Casual, cozy joint. Friendly staff. If you like draft beer, I believe I saw 70+ taps! The menu has some typical bar food. I just had the pierogi (spinach & cheese). They were good and came out fairly quick. There's a few TVs for the sports fans. When I'm in the area, I'll try to stop by again. It's recommended.
